Eggplant Parmesan

MELANZANE ALLA PARMIGIANA

Choosing the perfect eggplant for this delicious Eggplant Parmesan recipe is easy to do. Look for an eggplant that has a smooth unblemished shiny skin. You can see if they are ripe if you press the skin slightly. If it bounces back into shape it’s ripe, if it leaves an indentation pick another one.

As far mozzarella cheese is concerned, I always like to use fresh buffalo mozzarella for any recipe that calls for mozzarella, but many times I’ve used the shredded package kind for these kinds of casserole type recipes.

This dish takes a little time to prepare, but when you finish combining all the ingredients you could cook it immediately or refrigerate it for later in the evening or the next day. How long it takes depends on if the sauce is made or not. Putting it all together is the easy part.

This Eggplant Parmesan recipe is for my cousin Dennis. This way he’ll stop bothering me to make it every time I talk to him.
